Redoing exterior of house...tips?!?

I guess it could be done but I just can no imagine having to do a whole house with 2" foam.
#1, It's over $30.00 a sheet plus the cost of the tape. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Owens-Cor...45W/100320352#
#2, All the windows and doors are going to be effected. To do it right the windows would have to be pulled and redone or there going to be recessed.

Redoing exterior of house...tips?!?

You could leave the windows recessed (innie) or move them out (outie-pp. 1-10). If thicker than 2" FB, the window may not get enough room air circulation and have condensation wetting problems inside.... pp. 10+ for "innie"; http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...Br40fQ&cad=rja Though you would want to detail a new WRB and window rough opening wrap flashing... require resetting window anyway. Any vapor barrier poly at drywall?

Isn't Canada Code 1-1/2" thick, minimum?
